“It is through our teams attention to detail in the vineyard and passion for making the finest quality wine possible that we have been able to achieve the
extraordinary success that Brightwater Vineyards enjoy today.”
We began with a vision in 1992. Our only experience: a love of fine wine.
It has been a very steep learning curve, challenging and at times daunting,
but we have backed ourselves 100% to achieve the goals we have set.
We are not just one of Nelson’s top wineries but we now have a big reputation
both within New Zealand and overseas.
